Chapter 249 Western Region Incident, Crusade
Meanwhile, the Vatican.
"interesting."
In the dark, bursts of chuckling came from the void: "In this broken world, you can meet such an interesting human child. Fresa, I allow you to come to this world and help the shepherds gain greater authority in the name of the king of gods and the master of the universe."
"Affect the order."
On that day, the Holy Light Day above the newly built Vatican Palace did not disappear for three days and three nights.
After two days of rushing to the sky, the Holy See, which had been silent for many years, suddenly launched an attack on the powerful Arabs in the name of jihad.
In this unpromising war, the Holy See dispatched 300 powerful paladins and destroyed the famous Arab cavalry with incredible results.
After this war, all Western countries were shocked and sent envoys to Rome to visit the Pope.
A year later, the Eastern Expedition Army, led by the Roman Catholic Church and jointly formed by many Western countries, set out from the Vatican and drove to Arabia in a mighty manner. Because most of them were believers of the Holy See and all of them wore cross marks, they were also called the Crusader.
But no one knows that the First Western Crusade was four hundred years earlier than history!
Meanwhile, the East.
In the tenth year of Zhenguan, Li Shimin raised an army of 100,000 to attack the Western Regions on the grounds that Gaochang had served the Turks.
In the 11th year of Zhenguan, the Western Regions were pacified, and all countries in the Western Regions paid tribute to the Tang Dynasty to show their surrender.
In the 12th year of Zhenguan, Buddhists were attacked by Zoroastrians while preaching in the Western Regions. Not only were the Buddhist monks seriously injured and died, but there were also dozens of Tang believers who came to cheer for help.
Emperor Tang was furious about this and ordered the burning of all Zoroastrian churches in the Western Regions and the execution of all Zoroastrians present at that time.
For a time, a bloody storm broke out in the Western Regions, and a war triggered by faith began.
In the 13th year of Zhenguan, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty destroyed 39 places in the Zoroastrian territory and executed 39,862 fanatical believers of the Zoroastrianism.
In the same year, the Tang Dynasty established 46 Buddhist temples and 32 Taoist temples in the Western Regions, and 167,800 new believers.
In the 14th year of Zhenguan, the leader of the Zoroastrian religion attacked the Tang Dynasty's stronghold in the Western Regions, causing at least 4,000 deaths and two thousand seriously injured, and the losses could not be counted.
The Tang Dynasty was furious and sent Buddhist masters to the Western Regions.
However, the opponent is as slick as a mouse. If the masters from all sides use all their methods to surround him, it is difficult to catch the opponent's tail.
It was not until the 16th year of Zhenguan that the masters of Buddhism and Taoism, with the help of the exiled immortals, captured the Zoroastrian leader who killed countless evil spirits.
In this battle, Wu Meiniang, the exiled immortal temple disciple and the chief disciple of the outer sect, became famous in one battle.
The leader of the Zoroastrian sect was executed by Ling Chi, and his soul was extracted and his soul was refined and he hung it into a sky lantern to hang it on the Anxi Protectorate to warn the riots in the Western Regions.
In the 18th year of Zhenguan, Anxi Protectorate.
After eight years of operation, although the Tang Dynasty could not be said to have managed the Western Regions as firm as an iron barrel, it also initially established its own ruling foundation.
Since the Zoroastrian leader was openly slapped, the public security in the Western Regions has improved a lot.
But today, the atmosphere in Anxi Protectorate was solemn, and everyone was full of worry.
And the reason for this atmosphere is that a guest came to the Anxi Protectorate, a guest who wanted to ask for help from Persian Emperor Yazdgerd III!
Anxi Protectorate, lobby.
"General from the East, please save us." An old man with gray hair and hairy face cried and cried: "The damn Holy See has invaded our homes and subverted our country. They are demons who will never be satisfied and will never give up on the invasion."
"Your Majesty Yazdgerd, I have understood your difficulties. But I am not the only one who can tell the matter of sending troops to Persia. This matter needs to be notified to our Emperor. If you can send an envoy to Chang'an, perhaps Your Majesty will agree to your request." Anxi guardian Guo Xiaoke comforted.
Yazdgerd cried and said nothing, looking a little dazed.
On that day, eight hundred miles of letters were sent to Chang'an.
At the same time, the Tang Dynasty closely followed the trends of Persia and the so-called Vatican Crusaders.
More than half a month later, information about the Holy See and the Crusaders appeared in the Anxi Protectorate's Mansion.
"It's a big trouble."
Guo Xiaoke held the information of the Holy See in his hand and sighed with a frown.
I saw that it not only depicts the glorious achievements of the Holy See since the ten years of Zhenguan, but also focuses on the powerful combat effectiveness of the Holy See's Paladins and the rumored angels.
Guo Xiaoke did not understand the so-called angel.
But how could he not understand what this so-called paladin is? He is a top-notch man with extraordinary power like a Chinese monk.
But even China did not have the luxury of forming an army with many top monks to charge.
Just when Guo Xiaoke was lost, an excited voice from his subordinates came from outside the door: "Protector, the Immortal Master of Wu is here, the Immortal Master of Wu is here."
Martial Immortal Master?
When Guo Xiaoke heard this, he quickly reacted.
The so-called Wu Xianshi is Wu Meiniang.
Since Wu Meiniang came to the Western Regions two years ago, she has been ordered to station in the Western Regions as a guest minister. In order to resettle Wu Meiniang, the Anxi Protectorate even built a banished immortal temple nearby, with all the shapes and decorations in it imitated the exiled immortal temple.
In the past two years, Wu Meiniang has killed many powerful Western Regions for the Anxi Protectorate.
It can be said that the current stability of the Western Regions has been greatly contributed to Wu Meiniang.
When Guo Xiaoke heard Wu Meiniang coming, he was filled with joy and quickly got up to greet him.
"Haha, I haven't seen each other for several months, and the style of the martial immortal master is even better than that of the past."
When Guo Xiaoke walked out of the room, he saw a bright girl wearing a goose yellow dress, her phoenix eyes, and her elegant and holy temperament walked into the courtyard.
She is Wu Meiniang, the chief disciple of the outer sect of the Exiled Immortal Temple.
Wu Meiniang showed a plain smile, which was neither cold nor too enthusiastic, and said, "Mei Niang is not allowed to protect her so kindly."
Guo Xiaoke smiled and said, "What is the saying of Master Wu? Who doesn't know that you are the first person in the outer sect of the Exiled Immortal Temple, the supreme powerhouse of our younger generation in the Tang Dynasty. I heard that Master Immortal had already advanced to the late stage of supernatural powers a year ago, comparable to the senior senior of many great sects in the Tang Dynasty. He is really awesome for the younger generation, and awesome for the younger generation."
When Guo Xiaoke said this, he was very moved and his expression was a little complicated.
This sentence is not his intention to flatter.
Since ancient times, how many people have achieved the late stage of supernatural powers at the age of about twenty?
Wu Meiniang has reached a state that many people cannot reach in her life in just ten years. Such a powerful talent is enough to imagine how brilliant the future achievements will be.
In Guo Xiaoke's view, it is only a matter of time before Wu Meiniang becomes a personal disciple of the national teacher. With the guidance of the national teacher, future achievements are even more limitless. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a future immortal family.
Therefore, although Guo Xiaoke has a high position and a powerful position, he still seems quite respectful to Wu Meiniang, and it can even be said that he is suspected of deliberately trying to please him.
Although Wu Meiniang's expression was calm, she had a smug look in her eyes, and she obviously cared about other people's evaluations.
Guo Xiaoke came back to his senses and asked carefully: "By the way, I still don't know what happened to Master Wu's visit in person?"
Wu Meiniang's face showed a strange look, with expectations and a little excitement, and said, "The national master will arrive at the Anxi Protectorate in three days."
"What, the national teacher is coming!" Guo Xiaoke shouted with a look of surprise.
To talk about the number one person in the Tang Dynasty’s literary world, it may be very controversial and cannot get a common answer.
But if we say that the Tang Dynasty's martial arts number one person and the invincible peerless strong man, the entire Tang Dynasty people will give a common answer.
National teacher!
Since the preaching of the national teacher in the ninth year of Zhenguan, no one dares to rob the throne of the world's number one person.
Although Guo Xiaoke knew that the country might care about Persia, he never expected that the national guru would come in person.
